Analisys of Trends in
Science Education
Feb-June Semester
2013/2014
Zuhdan K. Prasetyo
Science Education YSU
Preface
Analisys of trends in science education is inevitable
in our lives. Especially in this century that changes
occur so quickly, even so in science education in the
world as well as in Indonesia. Analisys of trends, for
example in the USA exemplified when Russia
successfully launched Sputnik in 1957, the science
education in the country is also changing. In
Indonesia, it is also the case, ie when the K-13 back
to the SBC. In this course will analyze two things in
the perspective of science education both in the
USA and Indonesia.
The Beginnings: 1860 – 1920
Little that would recognize as “science” took
place in schools in the early 1800s. Emphasis on
the three Rs and rote memorization was the
order of the day.
Of course, the era of Big Science was still in the
future. “Science” itself was well established, just
not well funded or collaborative in nature, so
little societal pressure was brought to bear on
including science as a school subject.
The Utilitarian/Textbook: 1920 - 1957
This was a period of prodigious economic and
political growth tempered by war, a major
depression, and rapid technological development.
First an 8-4 pattern of elementary-high school
organization was developed. This was followed by
a 6-3-3 pattern as the children of the middle
years were observed to be in an emotional and
physical growth period requiring a transitional
schooling phase which became known as the
junior high school.
The First Revolution: 1957 - 1978
It was unthinkable! Another country
launched an artificial satellite to orbit the
earth before the United States did. The
“best in the world” complacency of
American Science was rattled, and the
American public was aghast.
The Second Revolution: 1980 - Present
The First Revolution was a reaction
against ingrained classicism, rote
memorization of facts, didactic teaching,
and a largely outdated and irrelevant
science curriculum.
Science Education Today: A Taxonomy for
Science Education
The traditional view considered that science was
knowledge of the universe that had accumulated
throughout recorded history. Only recently (the last
thirty-five years) has there been much attention directed
to science processes, the skills that scientists use to
discover new knowledge. However, it is clear today that
there is much more to science education than content
and processes.
Science Education Today:
Cognitive Science and Constructivism
Domain I - Knowing and Understanding (knowledge domain)
Domain II – Exploring and Discovering (process of science domain)
Domain III – Imagining and Creating (creativity domain)
Domain IV _ Feeling and Valuing (attitudinak domain)
Domain V – Using and Applying (applications and connections domain)
Science Education Today:
Cognitive Science and Constructivism
Since the 1930s, a behaviorist school of psychology has
dominated American education which has assumed that the
human mind is an unfathomable “black box.” According to this
point of view, learning could be studied only as a set of
reinforceable behaviors that were affected by stimulus and
reward. Teaching, therefore, was the process of building
hundreds of “associations” through practice and reinforcing
rewards.
Science Education Today: Cooperative Learning
One of the exciting trends in science education involves
a departure from the competitive, individualistic
classroom organizations characteristic of American
schools. Recent research suggests that immense benefits
can be gained when science is taught via a cooperative
learning method.
Science Education Today: Technology
Computers, television, videodiscs, and telecommunications
are making inroads into science education and continue to
promise a technological revolution for our schools. However,
due mainly to budgetary limitations, the “revolution” has been
far from generally realized.
Science Education Today: Gender and
Cultural Inequities in Science Education
Our world is becoming increasingly technologically oriented,
and it is imperative that all people understand the importance
of science in everyday living. As jobs become increasingly
intermeshed with technology, individuals without skills in
science and technology will be at a reserve disadvantage in
finding a livelihood. All citizens will need sufficient scientific
background
to
make
informed
decisions
on
science/technology/society-related issues such as pollution,
acid rain, tropical-rainforest deforestation, and AIDS.
Science Education Today:
Alternative Assessment
Assuredly, great foment characterizes current curricula and research in
science education. However, the professional literature clearly indicates
that assessment strategies have not kept pace with extant learning
theory, instructional strategies, educational technology, and curricular
advances. It is becoming increasingly obvious that scores on existing
standardized and teacher-made test reveal only a narrow and
incomplete glimpse of human achievement.
2013 Curriculum (K-13)
The 2013 curriculum completes the approximation method based on
the students’ creativity. The new curriculum fulfils three main components
of education: knowledge, skill, and attitude. Knowledge is proved by the
lesson in general. Skill is from their practical lesson like sports and attitude
is reflected by implementing the additional time for religion subject. In
view of character building and religion subjects are inserted into the 2013
curriculum more.
The 2013 curriculum is designed continuously from SD to SMA.
Specifically, the SMA competence is a continuance from SD and SMP.
KTSP Sebelum dan Setelah K-13
• Indonesia has changed its curriculum ten times from 1947 to KTSP
• The 2006 curriculum is also known as the “Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan
(KTSP) or School-Based Curriculum (SBC)”. The KTSP is designed in order that
every school can develop the teaching and learning process according to the student’s
character and the situation of school. As a result, the teacher can develop his methods
and techniques in the teaching and learning process and increase the students’
competencies too. The successful of the implementation of KTSP may rely on some
factors. These factors include a complete readiness of the teacher’s language
proficiency, the teacher’s language teaching, and the teacher’s ability to media or
tools in the teaching and learning process. If those factors are fulfilled, the main goal
of the implementation of KTSP which is to develop students’ competencies will be
achieved.
